If you honestly believe that the legions of people using auto accept and not responding to the award calls, particularly those who have zero intention of actually flying a trip aren't harming their fellow pilots then I don't know what to tell you. The company has absolutely made their bed but the idea that the pilot group has zero culpability in what is happening is not grounded in reality. But hey, if you want to fly premium let's all go sit at the airport to make it easier for the company to cover that first turn on the rotation.
